Palcamayo
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Palcamayo is a small village about 30km (18 miles) from Tarma, a city in Junín Region, Perú. Although it is not as big as Tarma, it is an attractive destination for tourists. There are a number of caves near to the village, and the area is designated as a National Speleological Area.
[edit] Gruta de Guagapo
The most famous cave is the Gruta de Guagapo, one of Peru's largest caves. It was discovered by the Polish group called WYSOKOGORSKI, and further exploration was carried out by the French group called AIXOIS. The full extent of the cave remains to be explored.
Then the Cocon lake & the cultures before the Incas like Collapata, Yaumanpata, Murallapunta and Shoguemarca are as ancient as Cuzco.
